I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this one.
I enjoyed making the beats and think that part came out pretty good but everything after that felt rather haphazard and didn't feel right to me.
I was close to abandoning the track…
With my deepest apologies to Chopin...
This is a very simple experiment in re-synthesis using the MetaSynth 5.3 ImageSynth.
I took Chopin's Nocturn No. 1 in B-Flat Minor and converted it into a spectrogram which was then used to re-synthesize…
This is the first piece made with a Reaktor instrument I built today that I have called "Xylo".
Xylo is a sampler that plays a region of the sample back and forth with a 10s release time. Each note defines a region of a different length (but…
Once again the source material is a snippet of beautiful piano from [Sudara](http://alonetone.com/sudara) only this time I fed it to a new Reaktor instrument that I am working on call Tukuramu.
Okay so tukuramu does not mean earth-quake but…
Made with the Boité Diabolique playing some piano and cello samples. I did a bit of hand editing in Live and then added some light compression, reverb, and limiting.

I was working on a piano phrase played by Alonetone supremo [Sudara](http://alonetone.com/sudara) (about which, more later).
One of the approaches I took was to load the phrase into the Time Freezer instrument and play it. I kind of got lost…

A micro-tonal piece made using one instance of the Novaphone 340 ("Imperial") playing 3 piano samples from SoundIron's "Emotional Piano 2.0".
The samples were sequenced using a MIDI keyboard using the Novaphone Micro-8 scale (1/8 semitone per…
First demo of the finished Novaphone 340 Grand instrument (v1.0.4) including some of the sample content that will be released with the final instrument. In this case I used 5 samples of a Reaktor based drone generator by [nofi](http://soundcloud…
I needed 2m02 to finish the album. I was completely spent and without a drop of creative juice left. Just noodling with an Omnisphere patch when one of my cats, Mississippi, jumped on my keyboard and proceeded to walk up and down and sit on various…
I'm trying to experiment with intentionally combining two different sounds. Since I seem to find this difficult I am starting with using a drone as one of the sounds taking my inspiration from the opening tracks of the Brian Eno & Jah Wobble…

Palimpsest: A Composition of Maps (an isentropic semaphore on the Name of Asmira Woodward-Page) is part of an ongoing series of soggetto cavato pieces the I have written, in this case on the name and at the commission of violinist Asmira Woodward…
I really enjoyed this piece very much and would like to hear more such.
Your other commenter said Bartók-esque and I couldn't have put it better myself. I find it reminiscent of the excellent 'Concerto for Orchestra.'
I also find your technique interesting. I am just beginning to experiment with generative music (albeit of a very different style) and the idea of mapping various sources of information into music is appealing.
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
enjoyed these - great stuff!!
Strangely beautiful!
Beautiful sounds!
Yes, this is STRANGELY enchanting. I don't usually go for this sort of stuff but I have really enjoyed this!
Dig the cellic flavourings.
Remote echo of the stones, rolling; tide, from under the water...
Super cool. I love the dark tension.
Ambient G-E-N-I-U-S. Cool ending bits.
Desert winds...
Strangely enchanting!
There's gold in them thar waves.
Very cool and fruitful sonic mining. Inspiring.
I could get lost in it too. Nice!
Funny.... I have a feeling this would be the soundtrack of the world if time was frozen......greatly enjoyed.
Nice! Mysterious sounds
Wow! Very cool sounds there!
Ha! This is sweet!
very nice - alien sounds - it should be the world anthem for the spacer world Aurora in Asimov's I Robot series.
Listened to this twice in a row, it has a really nice mood.
nice one!
